- You may have heard that instead of moving on to other things, Jay Leno is staying on at NBC even after they give The Tonight Show to Conan O'Brien. Why? Because they're giving him an hour of prime time every day to continue a show very much like the one he's doing now. I can't imagine this is the future that O'Brien envisioned; see Conan's non-comment.
- Did you hear about the stage actor in Austria who thought he was sticking himself with a prop knife when actually it was a real one? "He collapsed on stage with blood pouring from his neck and the audience started to applaud the spectacular special effects," says The Telegraph.

About
Daily Plastic is a Chicago-based movie blog, a collaboration between Robert Davis and J. Robert Parks, the same pair who brought you the wearable movie tote, the razor-thin pencil pocket, and that joke about aardvarks. If you know the whereabouts of the blue Pontiac Tempest that was towed from the Plastic Parking Lot on the evening of August 7th, 2008, or more importantly if you've recovered the red shoebox that was in its trunk, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
Davis was the chief film critic for the late, great Paste Magazine (which lives on now as a website) from 2005 through 2009, and he counts this interview with Claire Denis among his favorite moments. Every once in a while he pops up on Twitter. He's presently sipping puerh in Chicago, even at this hour. Meanwhile, Parks, whose work has appeared in TimeOut Chicago, The Hyde Park Herald, and Paste, is molding unsuspecting, college-aged minds in the aforementioned windy city. Media types are warned to stay clear of his semester-sized field of influence because of the distorting effects that are likely to develop.
